Fallen Earth is a post-apocalypse based game. Those that have played it may classify it as a Fallout copy made into an MMORPG, which isn’t entirely false. The game although having been out for over a year and a half now, is still rather clunky to play. The actual game engine they use is outdated, and can cause severe video lag spikes in the game. The trailer videos for this game are graphically enhanced, as the graphics in-game on highest settings do not even come close to what they make it look like in trailers.

Pros:

Cons:

Overall, this game rates around a 6 for me. I think it definitely has potential if the developers worked out the core issues, and either went with or redesigned the engine they’re currently using. Also, I understand from a sales point of view that micro-managing your character(s) keep a member playing, which in turn continues to generate revenue, but come on.. The amount of mindless grinding to get ahead is ridiculous. And if you have no vehicle and your waypoint wasn’t set, you could find yourself wandering aimlessly through the wastelands trying to find where you’re supposed to go – which sometimes isn’t bad, since you need to collect so much “scrap” and what-not to craft anything you need, or to just make a few extra chips so you can purchase the manual to learn how to craft the upgrade.

If you enjoy post-apocalyptic games, there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy this. However, if you have a short attention span or you get upset quickly over little things, you may want to stay away from this game until they work out most of the kinks. Also, if you do end up getting this game – there is an in-game item giveaway over at Alienware Arena. Enjoy.
